YESTERDAYS GAME
OF Base Ball Between the Home Club and the
Pttsburg COlOred KeyStoneS.
THE PEOPLE GO TO SEE BASE BALL
And They are Treated to Monkey Business
and Lots Of Kicking. .
NOTESOF INTEREST FROM THE FIELD

The game of base ball between the home
club and the colored KeystoneS, of Pitts
burg, yesterday afternoon, on the home
grounds, was full of fun and kicking. The
darkies are kickers from way back, bnt
if it had not been for the foolish action Of
putting White in to pitch for the home
team in the eighth inning, there would
have been no opportunity for any one to
kick, and the keystones would have been
whitewashed, for up to that time only
four hits had been made of Nor
sison, and they were scattered. The
visitors made six hits off White and
scored five runs, with two men out and
two men on bases. Bill Turner, Wheel
ing's colored dude, umpired the game, and
when Captain Crogan wanted to put Nor
rison back into the box before the end Of
the inning, the colored chaps kicked, and
Bill said it wasn't legal TO change pitchers
before an inning was played out. Carney
Westlake kicked and refused to catch any
more ifMOrrison did not pitch. He was
disguised, and so were a great many spec
tators. After about fifteen minutes
wrangling, during which many Of the au-
dience got impatient and lett, il was de
cided 10 let White pitch ont the innings and
Nicholson caught tho balance of the game,
Moflat going from right to second aud Jack
Sheppard taking his place. The next man
that went to bat hiJtO pitcher and retired
the side.

cr's bouquet, tbsKeystOne's left tielder's
catch with oDe'hand of Nicholson's long
fly, the kicking and several other things
Turner's umpiriug caused good deal of
merriment. When he made decision
| that q runner was out, he would wave his
right arm wildly and shout, "YOu're outW
| in voice that echoed and re-echOed.
In the first inning Wheeling made two
earned runs NichOl hit safe and went
